No person life is a cakewalk. It has both difficulties and luxuries. Thus it attains equilibrium. From the time of Ramayana and Mahabharata, this cycle continued. It makes me realize few things.
1. Difficult times brings the most bravest person within us : Comfort and ease cannot bring out the brave side of us, only difficult times does. Of course it gives agony, but it makes us fight, makes us strong and brave. In Ramayana, Lord Hanuman seeing his soldiers tensed faces, he decided to fly to Lanka. Until then he doesn't know he can do it. Adverse conditions makes us brave.
2. It blows off the masks of the people: When you are in misfortune, you can see the real colors of your family or friends. During Draupadi's Disrobement (Draupadi Vastrapaharanam) her own father-in-law, the King turned blind eye on her. Our problems will show the true colors of people.
3.There is something that we can learn from this: "Every lesson comes with the mask of problem". In Mahabharata, during exile Pandavas didn't waste time of 12 years. Arjuna got "Pasupatastram", most powerful astra in war, and Yudhistara learnt "Aksha satra", science of dice, by which, even if he invited to dice game again, Yudhistara can win.
4. Teaches us how to let go and accept the present: Some times, we cannot do with problems, either is financial, psychological or physical, other than accepting it. There's nothing wrong in that. Pandavas who ruled whole India, once were on exile and did their daily chores by themselves, served a small king Virata. They accepted the situation and acted upon.
5.Makes us strong and balanced: It's obvious that difficult times throws us in unstable mental condition. In order to come up we need a strong and balanced mind. In Ramayana, Lord Rama was in deep agony when Seetha Maa was kidnapped. Her didn't lose his temper on Laxmana, who left her behind. With balanced mind, he fought for Seetha Maa.
Many people may not believe Ramayana and Mahabharata was happened. But there's nothing wrong in taking lessons from those.
If you encounter a wolf, and you have no help, take "bravery" as a sword from your soul, and fight with wolf called "Problem".
If you fail or succeed, you will know how to deal with wolves. Remember there's no place for cowards in forest!! Nothing can substitute Experience!!!!
